	This tool is helpful in identifying the social groups (students, workers) that are affected by your issue, and to locate those groups along a spectrum, so you can focus your efforts on shifting those groups closer to your position. The tool also encourages looking at society as a collection of specific communities, some of which can be defined as institutions (unions, churches, schools), others of which are less visible such as youth subcultures or demographic groups. Identify impacted communities can help you develop a more targeted strategy that moves groups closer to your position.
